Peanut Butter Blondies

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...I fall back on this recipe whenever I have a crowd to feed. This is a great substitute for a sheet cake and when you are asked to bring a dessert to a church picnic or similar event, you might want to keep these blondies in mind. They come together quickly and, in the relative scheme of things, they are inexpensive to make. I prefer to use butter in my baked goods, but, I've found through trial and error, that the texture of these bars is better when they are made with shortening. So, shortening, plain or butter-flavored, it is. I have one caution to share with you should you decide to make these. It is easy to over-bake the bars, so watch them carefully, starting at the 25 minute mark. You want them to be chewy, not crunchy. While ovens vary, my bars are usually done in 27 minutes. Be sure to frost the blondies. It may seem unnecessary, but the frosting adds another layer of flavor to the bars and helps to keep them moist and fresh. While the bars lack finesse, they are delicious and they are perfect for down-home type events. I found the recipe in Family Circle magazine and you can find their version of the recipe, here. If you take these to an event, I'd like to suggest you clearly label them, so those who have peanut allergies are not surprised. I know that those of you who try these bars will like them. Here's the recipe.

These look really good. Must taste amazing. I know my family would enjoy them.

Also, thanks for the tip on labelling. I should already be doing that since once of my daughter's has several food allergies. ~I'm going to a memorial this weekend and we're all bringing something. My dessert has nuts in it, so I'll be sure to label it.

Mary, These Peanut Butter Blondies look very nice... Another recipe for the file! One grandson is very allergic to peanuts, so Laurie and I eat peanut products whenever we have a window of opportunity! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

Mary, these blondies look wonderful. I've never had peanut butter ones before. And I like the idea of frosting them. I have a chocolate chip blondie recipe that dries out quickly. Perhaps if I frost them...

My daughter and her little family have moved home with me for a bit and I think these will be a PERFECT recipe for us to have fun with this weekend! They literally made my mouth water:-) I probably should have eaten breakfast before coming to work!!!!Shawna
